A Day with the Dogs: Outagamie Dog Park

Sometimes taking the time to do nothing but sit and enjoy the day and surround yourself with furry friends is the best place you can be. There are many places I have been but none that can hold my attention and fill me with joy the way a good dog park does. I love being able to walk around and meet all the furry friends running around enjoying themselves. Recently I visited the Outagamie County Dog Park, and it was such a treat. This is a really nice park and great for someone needing low key exercise, but who has trouble staying focused due to boredom. There are trails that wind through the park with mild inclines and declines. Due to the dense patches of foliage there is always a path with shade and plenty of places along the trails to sit and rest if you need to. There are a few common areas which are mostly open but with lots of seating in both the sun and shade. I truly loved my time here and spent nearly four hours just interacting with the people and their dogs which ranged in all sizes, breeds, and ages. This is a no fee park but one that does take donations to help maintain it. I even had the chance to see some service dogs come in to blow off some steam. I highly recommend taking the time if you have a dog to find a nice well maintained dog park in your area and spend a few hours here and there disconnecting from the regular dramas of life and learning to enjoy it the innocent way our four legged furry friends do.
